Making Meaning Through Reflections

Findings from studies such as Learning by Thinking: Overcoming the Bias for Action Through Reflection,

"one of the critical components of learning is a reflection or the intentional attempt to synthesize, abstract, and articulate" (Di Stefano, 2014:1) the learning experience. Reflection can powerfully enhance the learning process. So, tonight you will focus on reflecting on what you have done this past week.

Write a blog post sharing your reflections of your OER learning experience.
Respond to What? So What? Now What?

What? What happened? What did you do? What did you expect and what was different?
So What? Why does that matter? To you? To your students? To the college? To society as a whole? Describe your experience in looking for an openly licensed item in your subject area. What is your impression on the process of finding OER in your subject area?
Now what? What will you do differently? What have you learned? Are you committed to the OER movement? What will you do to further OER?

Post your completed reflection in the Slack > #3-reflection.
